Save Money and the Environment with PrintWhatYouLike


PrintWhatYouLike is a novel approach to going green.  Say you want to print a news article on CNN.com, if you were to press print you would get everything on the page, even the things you don’t want.  PrintWhatYouLike gives you a bookmarklet that links back to their website and from there you can choose to eliminate the ads, images, backgrounds, or just print the text you want.  By selecting just what you want you are using less toner or ink (which is more expensive than oil) and not throwing toner and ink cartridges in landfills which is better for the environment. On top of all that PrintWhatYouLike gets out of your way, only adding a simple to use print preview type of toolbar to the left of your screen.

    This is a really great idea I away get wound up by pages and pages of text getting printed out every time I want to print something.

    Excellent.

    This is cool. I used to use the SmartPrint add-on for Firefox, but it hasn’t been upgraded to easily install on FF3 (but you can do it) and I never bothered to go through the steps to iinstall it again. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4933.

    This is a great idea to going green. Saves paper and ink! Plus your pages don’t come out with all sorts of junk that you don’t want anyway, that’s smart!

    These ecological solutions are all the rage nowadays. I like to see as many initiatives as this as possible, as all the little things combined can have a dramatic effect.
